Accustomed to the DSO circuit and his Main Event at 550 €, the Swiss Mohamad El Rais triumphed at the Imperial Casino in Annecy from biggest DeepStack Open ever organized outside Paris.

El Rais cashed € 50,000 for this success in front of 642 opponents … for a final podium without a tricolor. The winner won against a regular in Namur, the Belgian Jorden Verbraeken and a Swiss compatriot, David marcos Lomba completing the podium!

Finally 4th, and first player of the Hexagon, Julien sitbon leaves with a 5-figure gain, just like the French record holder for paid places, Dominique terzian. The last six survivors of the tournament hosted by Texapoker turned their buy-in into at least € 10,000, good news for Anthony Gros!

They were still 24 in contention at the dawn of the final day on Sunday and Eric Joss and Jeremy Palvini managed to reach the final. Marine “Mme Palvini” Khamvongsa did not leave her man for a while since she reached 17th place …

Chipleader at the start of Day 3, Pietro Croce bubbled up the final (10th). Maxime Adam stopped him in 20th position while Yann Brosolo only lasted 5 minutes … time to scratch a few more euros and the € 3,050 for 23rd place …

Saturday, the 79 last survivors entered the money for a min-cash of 1200 € after a long bubble. Ludovic Zocchetti, Eric Gahon, Claude Metais and Said El Yousfi then jumped directly. Adel Naoun (70th), Jean-Paul Zaffran (69th) and Patrice Chamarre (62nd) have taken them a step further.

Erik Tedeschi (50th), Yves Sergeant (48th), Omar Lakhdari (47th) then surrendered and it was Grégory Janin who was the last of the day (25th) … at the gates of the great explanation.
